While my friends were on the third floor hallway, playing a prank on Slytherins. I went to the Library. I am going to look around in the Muggle section about abusive family. If I could prove the teachers that Remus is being abused at his home, it would help him. Don't worry, Remus. I will find a way to keep you safe.

Everything was so clear to me now. How could I be so blind? All this time... 13 years of it. And I did not know? I shoved off the books away, except for one. "Abusive Household and The Effects on Youngsters". A Muggle book about children's mental health.
I sprinted to my dorm in the Gryffindor Tower with the book tightly hugged to my chest. To my relief the room was empty. Other Marauders were probably playing a prank or running around the castle. I sat on my bed.
Everything around me was collapsing. Or at least I felt so. Everything I believed was a lie. Selfishness. I felt so powerless. Dumb, stupid. How blind do I even need to be?
" Sirius?" A voice reached my ears.
My favorite voice. A voice that could cheer me up in any situation. But, now I am scared. What would he think if he know? He will see me differently. I wiped my tears away and looked at him.
" Yeah, Remus? Where you all are at? Just got back from the library" I tried to sound as cheerful as possible.
" Sirius" he rushed to my side. " Have you been crying?" His voice trembled.
" No. Why would I even cry?"
Remus reached my hands. I felt his strong grip on them. Unable to control myself, tears streamed down my cheeks. He pulled me into a comforting hug. Warm and filled with care. It's been ages since someone held my with such affection.
"I am here, Sirius" he whispered and tapped my back.
" This" I pointed at the book on my bed.
